Message from Lynn: Dear Friends: September is College Savings Month in Kansas. If you have not already done so, this is the time to start thinking about the next step in your loved one's educational career-even if they have yet to be born! The September issue of MoneyWI$E will look at many aspects of financial planning for school. With tuition costs unlikely to go down anytime soon, this may be one of the most important newsletters I send out this year. The collection of articles this month looks at Learning Quest®, the Kansas 529 Education Savings Program that provides excellent tax incentives to begin saving now. Additionally, I will provide you with Freshman Finance: Money Management Tips, Bridging the College Savings Gap with Financial Aid and finally, Important Lessons for those who have FAILED to save for college. As always, if you have any suggestions for story ideas please email them to me at lynn@treasurer.state.ks.us and I will be happy to consider them for an upcoming issue.
